Running errands today. My size 4 jeans are too big, but work just fine with a belt. Seriously trying to stop losing weight so I don’t have to buy another whole wardrobe in smaller sizes. 🙄

Did you ever in your wildest dreams think that would be the case ?!?!
I like the soft look of the jeans, are they soft?

Never, ever, in a 100 million years, did I think I would be buying size 0 pants, which I did this weekend. Nor did I ever think I would struggle to stop losing weight. It is insane and definitely messing with my head. It is so scary to think about gaining weight, but I would benefit from a few extra pounds now. 🙄🙄🙄

The jeans are super soft and soooo comfortable, except for the part where they start to fall off without a belt cinching them up. 😂😂

I am feeling this same way. I can't stop losing weight. My goal was 135 and now I am at 130. I wish I could stop but it just keeps coming off. I have gone from a size 6 down to a 4 in just a month. It feels good but bad at the same time. I am sick of buying new clothes.

It’s freaky isn’t it that first time you have to buy size 0. The first time I did I just kept staring at the label. Mind boggling. I seem to waver between a 0 & a 2 (4 or 6 in Aust).

I’ve noticed my body shape has changed in maintenance. When I originally hit my lowest weight my body shape was quite up & down - no curves like I always had. But I’ve noticed the curves are coming back, even though my lowest weight is now only a pound more, & likely why I need a size 2 in some cuts. I think the remaining fat resettles. This may happen to you too. Have to admit I bought a couple of pants & skirts with elastic waists or drawstrings so I could wear them across a size if needed when I was still losing in maintenance. The slouchy look looks quite stylish when you’re a lower weight versus sloppy when we were bigger. At least it’s pretty cheap to have extra holes punched in a belt - LOL - though my shoe repair man does it for free (& Lindsay’s had to do a lot).

I’d love to have your long legs @WishMeSmaller or at least ones in proportion to the rest of my body. I’d be a good 5’5” if they were 🤣🤣🤣.

I have the same feelings. I feel excited about losing weight (after years of struggle), but bad about it as well because I am only about 10 pounds from slipping into a low BMI (<18.5). I want to be healthy, not anorexic. I know most people have weight rebound, so I have been planning for that, but I have a pretty healthy cushion at this point. 🤷‍♀️
Working on changing up my diet and exercise routine right now to try to find maintenance.

I DO TWIRL! And, you are right... a woman of any status, race or creed are to be celebrated. I am married, but do not have children. You can also be diminished if you aren't like most couples with children. That's okay, though - Bobby, Mr. and Mrs. Sophie make a happy fun family! As does MISS. Fab and fantastic Arabesque, our down under BEAUTY!




I think I'd love just the cake with no frosting,




cream or sauce.

So much freaky! Even more freaky, I put the pants on yesterday after washing them and now wonder if I should have gotten the 00. 🤷‍♀️

I really hope my fat resettles in my face...but it never seems to go where I want it to. 😂. Anyhow, I am less than two weeks from plastic surgery, so everything might change...again. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Part of the reason I like the above jeans, is I think they make my legs look long 😂 Not that my legs are short to start with, but I love the long, lean look. Good thing I guess, since I have zero curves right now😂😂

I bought this shirt 3yrs ago when I first reached goal, but this is the first time I’m wearing it.

Also I have new braided sandals after salivating of similar ones that a close friend of mine recently bought.

Love the shoes...and the top...and the curves! 😂

I will post all about my plastics, probably next weekend. I am supposed to have some Lipo to get some fat for my butt, but I honestly don’t know where they are going to take it from. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ The only real fat pad I have left is the center area of my abdomen. Definitely skinny girl problems 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
